There are several facets of aluminum when it comes to sustainability. While it helps to save
fuel due to its low density, producing it from ores is very energy-intensive. Recycling it shifts …

Most industrial alloys contain a matrix phase and dispersed second-phase particles. Several
thermomechanical processing (TMP) steps are usually needed to produce a final product …

For decades, high susceptibility to intergranular corrosion and stress corrosion cracking is
the Achilles's heel for the 5xxx series Al alloys with high Mg (> 3 wt%) owing to precipitation …

Texture evolution in cold-rolled Mg-0.3 Zn-0.1 Ca, Mg-0.4 Zn and Mg-0.1 Ca (at.%) alloys
during static recrystallization is monitored using a quasi-in-situ electron backscatter …

Aluminum alloys are increasingly being used in a broad spectrum of load-bearing
applications such as lightweight structures, light rail, bridge decks, marine crafts, and off …

If variety is the spice of life, then abnormal grain growth (AGG) may be the materials
processing equivalent of sriracha sauce. Abnormally growing grains can be prismatic …

Samples with one through three passes with 100% overlap were created using friction stir
processing (FSP) in order to locally modify the microstructure and mechanical properties of a …

Microstructure and its thermal stability are critical in the development of high-performance Al–
Mg alloys. Here, we attempt to tailor Al 3 (Sc, Zr) precipitates and thus microstructure …

Abstract Single-phase Al–Mg alloys processed by severe plastic deformation (SPD) usually
suffer from unsatisfactory thermal stability at moderate to high temperatures with …

A mechanical constitutive relationship is the basis for the design and application of structural
materials, and the establishment of a mechanical constitutive relationship generally relies on …
